Doctors told whether the number of cases of COVID will grow above 10 thousand

The increase in the number of detected cases of covid-19 in RUSSIA to above 10,000 may be due to the vacation period and the migration of people from the regions. Zoya Skorpileva, an immunologist and candidate of medical sciences, told RBC about this.

“I think that the situation will not stabilize in the near future. In addition, now people are actively taking smears due to the fact that people travel abroad. And they require the delivery of tests and the delivery of PCR tests. Naturally, the more tests we take, the more we will reveal - in proportion, ”she said.

The expert predicts that the numbers will be consistently high throughout the summer period. “The main thing is that severe forms and deaths do not increase. There will be a decrease in statistics only if everyone is quarantined, ”added Skorpileva.

An increase in the number of new cases of COVID-19 per day may not necessarily mean a new wave of infections, said Alexander Chepurnov, HEAD of the Laboratory of Especially Dangerous Infections of the Federal Research Center for Fundamental and Translational Medicine, in a conversation with RBC. According to him, in order to draw more detailed conclusions, it is necessary to observe the statistics for a few more days.
